Why Rug Cleaning Is Important | Don’t Avoid It
A thorough rug cleaning will add years to a rug's life, and a rug cleaning will make a rug smell and feel good too. But all these reasons don't compare to the main reason rug cleaning is pursued, and this is to make a rug sanitary. Often, when homeowners think about the fixtures in their homes that hold germs and other unwanted particles, the rug is not one that comes to mind quickly. Most people think of toilets, door knobs, and other things that require hand use frequently, but in fact a rug can be a dangerous fixture if it's not taken care of properly.

Routine vacuuming won't be enough, and this is why professional rug cleaning is needed.
